Renovation Collection 1
SCORE: 71
I am very thankful I had the money to purchase the Renovation
Collection 1 cartridge on the Evercade. There are twelve 16-bit video
games on the Renovation Collection 1 cartridge. The twelve games are
Arcus Odyssey, Beast Wrestler, Dino Land, El Viento, Exile, Final Zone,
Gaiares, Granada, Sol-Peace, Traysia, Valis, and Valis III. I am not
sure why Valis II was excluded from the Renovation Collection 1
cartridge. It would make sense to include it, but they did not.
Renovation Collection 1 brings us some role playing games, a pinball
game, shooting games, a wrestling game, and some 2D side scrolling video
games. The side scrolling video games also have plenty of shooting in
them as well. I remember many of these games from the 16-bit era. Some
of them I liked better than others. Renovation Collection 1 has a nice
showing of different kinds of video games.
The issues families can have with Renovation Collection 1 are violence,
lack of attire, enticement to lust, false gods, false goddesses, magic,
and more. I ran into some confusion with the controls in Beast Wrestler.
I also found the mapping to be odd in Dino Land. I can play pinball that
way but I feel there were better button choices for the flippers. The
rest of the games had some decent controls. Exile can be challenging.
There is some definite video game history found on the Renovation
Collection 1 cartridge. Arcus Odysee reminds me of the Gauntlet
franchise. Traysia is one of those older role playing video games that
retro RPG masters will enjoy. Many retro RPG masters may have already
played Traysia. I found quite a bit of entertainment within Renovation
Collection 1. There are not a lot of multiplayer games included on the
Renovation Collection 1 cartridge.
I hope to see more compilation cartridges like Renovation Collection 1
in the future. I also like it when the games that are selected are
different from one another. Hopefully the next collection for Renovation
will include Valis II. I like being able to see all of a franchise as
well as play different kinds of games.
